By William Saletan
IT'S time to talk about the birds and the bees.
No, I don't mean sex. You've already heard that story: Boy meets girl, sperm meets egg, a baby grows in Mommy's tummy. That's the way of all flesh. Or so you were told.

Evolution of Different Y Chromosomes in Two Medaka Species, Oryzias dancena and O. latipes
Genetics
; ABSTRACT Although the sex-determining gene DMY has been identified on the Y chromosome in the medaka (Oryzias latipes), this gene is absent in most Oryzias species, suggesting that closely related species have different sex-determining genes. Here, we investigated the sex-determination mechanism in

The Program of Sex Chromosome Pairing in Meiosis Is Highly Conserved Across Marsupial Species: Implications for Sex Chromosome Evolution
Genetics
; ABSTRACT Marsupials present a series of genetic and chromosomal features that are highly conserved in very distant species. One of these features is the absence of a homologous region between X and Y chromosomes. According to this genetic differentiation, sex chromosomes do not synapse during the

Dragon's virgin birth; The five baby lizards whose mother is also their father.
The Daily Mail (London, England)
; 'MUMMY - where did I come from?' It can be an awkward question for parents to answer at the best of times. For Flora the Komodo dragon, however, it could take some serious explaining (if she could talk, of course). Because she has just become the mother - and father - of five bouncing baby lizards.
